About Me

I left the US in 2010 and have been living abroad ever since. I've lived in Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Bulgaria and Thailand.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to be boring and I'm actively searching for new adventures and experiences that will broaden my horizons and expand my mind. I will try anything that doesn't hurt people at least once.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a hard time connecting with normal people. If you've never left your hometown and think that what you see on TV is real, then we wont have much in common. If you're constantly thinking about where you're going to travel to next, face buried in a book, deep in meditation or hustling to make your dreams come true then we'll be good friends.

Interests

I enjoy putting myself in situations where the outcome is uncertain and the only way forward is to take some grand risk or push past discomfort.

Ex: locking myself out on the streets in Brazil and being forced to sleep on cardboard

Other things I'm into are meditation, yoga, ayahuasca, learning foreign languages and starting online businesses.

Music, Movies, and Books

I just listen to the same playlist on repeat that they played when I first drank Ayahuasca.
